This is one big treasure lead!
And I mean huge!
As big as an elephant...!
Well, actually, it IS an elephant.
Let me explain...
I got a lead on an unusual burial in Manitoba.
You see, in short, there was once a circus, and one of their elephants collided with a locomotive....and the elephant didn't make it.
And no, this is not the story of Jumbo himself...it is one of his pachyderm circus cousins who perished here in Manitoba. (Jumbo died in Ontario.)
Not sure what it with locomotives and elephants, but it seems Jumbo was not the only one who tangled with a steam locomotive here in Canada.
Anyway, this may be more of an oddity than a treasure, but it could be worth going after.
No idea if it had tusks or not, which would have value as ivory.
One positive thing is that I believe I have narrowed down it's location.
I figure they probably covered it in lime before burial.
And I have located an elephant size "dead spot" in brush near where the incident occurred.
Got a big shovel?
